SPORT AND ADVENTURE
Lake Maggiore is the perfect destination for those who love sports and adventure immersed in nature. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and majestic mountains, every day becomes a unique experience full of energy and excitement.
Water sports enthusiasts can choose from a wide range of activities: kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, and windsurfing are ideal for experiencing the lake from a dynamic and engaging perspective. Locations such as Cannobio and Verbania are especially popular thanks to favorable conditions and well-equipped facilities.
For those who prefer land-based activities, the area offers an extensive network of scenic trails. Among the most captivating are the Sentiero delle Meraviglie (between Stresa and Belgirate), perfect for panoramic hikes overlooking the lake, and the trails within the Parco Naturale dei Lagoni di Mercurago, ideal for immersive nature excursions. Mountain bike enthusiasts can explore the routes of the Parco del Ticino, with itineraries suitable for all skill levels.
For thrill-seekers, the areas of Premia and Val d’Ossola offer canyoning and climbing experiences, while Monte Mottarone is perfect for panoramic hikes, downhill biking, and adrenaline-filled outdoor activities.
There are also plenty of opportunities for active relaxation: lakeside walks, e-bike tours through historic villages, or days dedicated to golf on green courses in the Stresa area.
